Independent Oil & Gas plc (IOG) announced that following delays it had spud the first Southwark development well in the Southern North Sea.
ROV ISSUES
The company said it had expected to drill the well by the weekend of 18-19 December, following repairs of the Noble Hans Deul rig.
However repeated technical issues with the underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) had caused a delay.
Following repairs, IOG spudded the first Southwark development well at 9pm on 30 December.
SCHEDULE
“First gas is expected at Southwark in mid-2022 after the planned installation in Q1 2022 of the 6km Saturn Banks pipeline extension to the Southwark platform.
“The rig is then scheduled to move on to drill the Goddard and Kelham North/Central appraisal wells while analysis of reservoir and production data from Southwark development wells 1 and 2 will inform an optimal Southwark 3 well plan.”
